KM Packaging managing director Charles Smithson said: “Many food manufacturers and fresh produce packers are now keen to switch from plastic trays to alternative tray types.
“By combining our advanced KPeel range of lidding films with renewable resource trays, customers can achieve significant reductions in rigid plastic packaging without compromising on performance, product protection or retail presentation.
“KM Packaging’s compostable range of lidding films is also currently in trial and will present additional opportunities for sustainable packaging solutions.”
According to the company, the lidding film range is suitable for various needs such as ambient, chilled, frozen and dual-ovenable applications as well as printing, perforation and lamination.
